Definitions
- the present invention relates to a variable-capacity air conditioner including a compressor capable of changing its capacity.
- a conventional variable-capacity air conditioner changes a flow amount of refrigerant by changing a rotation speed of a compressor with an inverter.
- Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.06-281296 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.2002-89976 disclose a mechanically-controlled expansion valve and an electronically-controlled expansion valve which function as throttle valves for controlling the amount of the refrigerant flowing through a refrigerant passage according to a pressure or temperature in a refrigeration cycle, respectively.
- the mechanically controlled expansion valve incidentally controls the flow amount of the refrigerant by detecting the pressure or temperature in the refrigeration cycle.
- a load to an electric motor driving a compressor drastically and rapidly increases upon the compressor starting up, a discharge pressure of the compressor drastically increases due to a delay of a driving operation, accordingly providing the motor with an overload.
- the overload may force stopping the motor (breakdown) or activates an overload relay to stop the compressor.
- the electronically controlled expansion valve which can avoid the overload described above, however, has a complicated structure and an expensive production cost.
- a variable-capacity air conditioner includes a compressor for compressing refrigerant, an indoor heat-exchanger coupled to the compressor, an outdoor heat-exchanger coupled to the compressor, a piping for coupling the compressor, the indoor heat-exchanger, and the outdoor heat-exchanger, a first capillary tube provided in the piping, a second capillary tube provided in the piping in series with the first capillary tube, a by-pass pipe connected in parallel to the second capillary tube, a valve for opening and closing the by-pass pipe, and a controller for controlling the compressor and the valve.
- the compressor is operable at a first capacity and a second capacity less than the first capacity to compress the refrigerant.
- the air conditioner prevents the compressor from overload and allows the refrigerant to circulate at an optimal flow amount through a refrigeration cycle.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the variable-capacity air conditioner according to Exemplary Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of the variable-capacity air conditioner according to Embodiment 1.
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a start-up operation of the capacity-variable air conditioner according to Embodiment 1.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a controller of the variable-capacity air conditioner according to Embodiment 1.
- FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of the variable-capacity air conditioner according to Embodiment 1.
- FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a controller of a variable-capacity air conditioner according to Exemplary Embodiment 2 of the invention.
- FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of the variable-capacity air conditioner of Embodiment 2.
- FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a controller of a variable-capacity air conditioner according to Exemplary Embodiment 3 of the invention.
- FIG. 9 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of the variable-capacity air conditioner according to Embodiment 3.
- FIG. 10 is a block diagram of a controller of a variable-capacity air conditioner according to Exemplary Embodiment 4.
- FIG. 11 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of the variable-capacity air conditioner according to Embodiment 4.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of refrigeration cycle 2001 of variable-capacity air conditioner 1001 in accordance with Exemplary Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
- Refrigeration cycle 2001 includes compressor 1 , indoor heat-exchanger 2 , outdoor heat-exchanger 3 , throttle device 4 , four-way valve 5 , and piping 6 for connecting all the above components.
- Refrigerant circulates through refrigeration cycle 2001 .
- Controller 11 controls compressor 1 and shutter valve 10 .
- Throttle device 4 includes first capillary tube 7 , second capillary tube 8 connected in series with first capillary tube 7 , by-pass pipe 9 connected in parallel to second capillary tube 8 , and shutter valve 10 provided in by-pass pipe 9 .
- Compressor 1 includes compression element 1 A for compressing the refrigerant and motor element 1 B for driving compression element 1 A.
- first capillary tube 7 If the amount of the refrigerant passing through first capillary tube 7 is determined to be suitable for a first volume, the maximum volume of the refrigerant is supplied from compressor 1 .
- shutter valve 10 When shutter valve 10 is closed, the amount of the refrigerant passing through first capillary tube 7 and second capillary tube 8 is determined so as to be suitable for a second volume of the refrigerant smaller than the first volume is supplied from compressor 1 .
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of variable-capacity air conditioner 1001 .
- controller 11 opens shutter valve 10 and allows the refrigerant to flow in by-pass pipe 9 , thereby increasing the flow amount of the refrigerant.
- the flow amount of the refrigerant is determined by first capillary tube 7 alone, so that the amount is suitable for the maximum volume of refrigerant.
- controller 11 closes shutter valve 10 to introduce the refrigerant to first capillary tube 7 and second capillary tube 8 , thereby limiting the flow amount of the refrigerant in refrigeration cycle 2001 to the flow amount corresponding to the amount discharged.
- the flow amount of the refrigerant is the total of respective flow amounts of first capillary tube 7 and second capillary tube 8 , so that the flow amount of the refrigerant in refrigeration cycle 2001 is suitable for the second amount smaller than the first amount of the refrigerant at the maximum capacity.
- the second amount is suitable for the second capacity of compressor 1 .
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a start-up operation of compressor 1 of variable-capacity air conditioner 1001 .
- compression element 1 A receives a large discharge pressure, accordingly providing motor element 1 B with abrupt variations in load.
- controller 11 opens shutter valve 10 regardless of the flow amount of the refrigerant to introduce refrigerant to by-pass pipe 9 , thereby increasing the flow amount of the refrigerant. This operation protects motor element 1 B of compressor 1 from having an overload caused by the abrupt variations in load at the start-up operation.
- controller 11 continues to open shutter valve 10 for a predetermined period of time, for example, five minutes. This period is not limited to exactly five minutes and may be determined according to the structure of refrigeration cycle 2001 .
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of controller 11 .
- Controller 11 includes calculator 12 formed of electric components including a microprocessor (not shown), voltage detector 13 , capacity switcher 14 for changing the amount of the refrigerant supplied from compressor 1 , and valve controller 15 for opening and closing shutter valve 10 .
- Calculator 12 controls capacity switcher 14 to change the capacity of compressor 1 , i.e., the amount of the refrigerant discharged from compressor 1 .
- FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of variable-capacity air conditioner 1001 .
- This flow chart illustrates how controller 11 controls shutter valve 10 after a lapse of a predetermined period, e.g. five minutes, from the start-up of compressor 1 .
- Voltage detector 13 detects the value of a voltage supplied to motor element 1 B of compressor 1 and sends the detected value to calculator 12 .
- controller 11 controls compressor 1 to discharge the maximum amount, i.e., the first amount, of the refrigerant
- calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to open shutter valve 10 .
- This operation introduces refrigerant to by-pass pipe 9 , thereby increasing the flow amount of the refrigerant.
- compressor 1 When compressor 1 is controlled to discharge the second amount of the refrigerant smaller than the first amount, if the voltage detected by voltage detector 13 is lower than a predetermined value, calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to open shutter valve 10 . This operation introduces the refrigerant to by-pass pipe 9 , thereby increasing the flow amount of refrigerant. If the value detected by voltage detector 13 is equal to or higher than the predetermined value while the compressor discharges the second amount of the refrigerant, calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to close valve 10 . This operation prevents the refrigerant from being introduced to by-pass pipe 9 , and causes the refrigerant to pass through capillary tubes 7 and 8 , thereby reducing the flow amount of the refrigerant. Thus, compressor 1 is prevented from being in an overload state when compressor 1 tends to be in the overload state.

- Current detector 16 detects a value of a current supplied to motor element 1 B of compressor 1 .
- FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of variable-capacity air conditioner 1002 .
- This flow chart illustrates how controller 51 controls shutter valve 10 after a lapse of a predetermined period, e.g. five minutes, from the start-up of compressor 1 . From the starting-up of compressor 1 to the end of the predetermined period, controller 51 opens shutter valve 10 regardless of the capacity of operation of the compressor.
- Current detector 16 detects the value of a current supplied to motor element 1 B of compressor 1 and sends the detected value to calculator 12 .
- controller 51 controls compressor 1 to discharge the maximum amount, i.e., the first amount, of the refrigerant
- calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to open shutter valve 10 .
- This operation introduces refrigerant to by-pass pipe 9 , thereby increasing the flow amount of the refrigerant.
- compressor 1 is controlled to discharge the second amount of the refrigerant smaller than the first amount
- calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to open shutter valve 10 .
- This operation introduces the refrigerant to by-pass pipe 9 , thereby increasing the flow amount of refrigerant. If the value detected by current detector 16 is equal to or less than the predetermined value while the compressor discharges the second amount of the refrigerant, calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to close valve 10 .
- This operation prevents the refrigerant from being introduced to by-pass pipe 9 , and causes the refrigerant to pass through capillary tubes 7 and 8 , thereby reducing the flow amount of the refrigerant.

- FIG. 9 is a flow chart illustrating an operation of the variable-capacity air conditioner of Embodiment 3.
- This flow chart illustrates how controller 61 controls shutter valve 10 after a lapse of a predetermined period, e.g. five minutes, from the start-up of compressor 1 . From the starting-up of compressor 1 to the end of the predetermined period, controller 61 opens shutter valve 10 regardless the capacity of operation of the compressor. Temperature sensors 17 A and 17 B detects the values of the temperatures, and sends the detected values to calculator 12 .
- controller 51 controls compressor 1 to discharge the maximum amount, i.e., the first amount, of the refrigerant
- calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to open shutter valve 10 . This operation introduces refrigerant to by-pass pipe 9 , thereby increasing the flow amount of the refrigerant.
- valve controller 15 When compressor 1 is controlled to discharge the second amount rate of the refrigerant smaller than the first amount rate, if the temperature detected by temperature sensor 17 A is higher than a predetermined value, calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to open shutter valve 10 . This operation introduces the refrigerant to by-pass pipe 9 , thereby increasing the flow amount rate of refrigerant. If the value detected by temperature sensor 17 A is equal to or lower than the predetermined value while the compressor discharges the second amount rate of the refrigerant, calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to close valve 10 .
- This operation prevents the refrigerant from being introduced to by-pass pipe 9 , and causes the refrigerant to pass through capillary tubes 7 and 8 , thereby, reducing the flow amount rate of the refrigerant.
- compressor 1 is prevented from being in an overload state when compressor 1 tends to be in the overload state.
- valve controller 15 When compressor 1 is controlled to discharge the second amount of the refrigerant smaller than the first amount, if the temperature detected by temperature sensor 17 B is higher than a predetermined value, calculator 12 instructs valve controller 15 to open shutter valve 10 .
